And this is an example of what we'll have had to put up with when shopping for players : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Willie McKay, the agent who brokered Emiliano Sala’s tragic move from Nantes to Cardiff City last month, has provided a revealing insight into the transfer business in a leaked email sent to the Argentine striker.
In a letter of introduction published in L’Équipe, the French newspaper, McKay is open about his primary motive being to make “a lot of money” out of the transfer, and admits inventing interest in Sala from bigger clubs in an attempt to create a more competitive market for his signature.
McKay, 59, has admitted arranging the flight to take Sala from Nantes to Cardiff on Monday last week, two days after the 28-year-old had become the club’s record £15 million signing. But he insists the light aircraft, which has not been found after disappearing over the English Channel with Sala and the pilot David Ibbotson on board, was not his.
In an email sent on January 6, before Sala’s move was agreed, McKay writes: “Emiliano, my name is Willie McKay. We are not interested in your personal belongings; finances, holidays, baby-sitting, it’s not our business. We make transfers happen. More than 600.
“We approached Nantes, as we do with many players in other clubs, to obtain the mandate of sale. We do not say, ‘We are like a father to a son to our players.’ No, if you had not been a footballer, these people would not be interested in you. In the end they are only interested in the money. What we all want a lot of, of course. That’s why we like to work with just the clubs. No sentiment, we’re just doing business.
“It’s been said that Cardiff does not interest you. But that is probably our mistake, because we ‘leaked’ in the media that other clubs like West Ham and Everton want you. Just to stimulate the interest in you. That is how we work and that may be misinterpreted by the player. But without that ‘buzz’ nobody would know you.”
McKay declined to comment when contacted by The Times last night

The hard work on transfers has now started, although probably actually started when our relegation became a very likely outcome. Can't say I have been really bothered about this transfer window, it is the next one which is going to decide the success of our team over the next year or two.
I hope we have a better plan, which is better executed, than what we now appear to have had last year.

Of course you do. If people jack it in now simply because Huddersfield Town have struggled in the Premier League and have got relegated to the Championship then they need to give their head a shake, and ask themselves some serious questions. Maybe press the reset button on their life. We have competed and survived longer than all of us would have wanted, or expected, the day we got promoted. So what if we go down. The matches will be more competitive, we'll be favourite to win most of them, and we'll score more goals and win more games. It'll be an improvement and we'll be back where we, in reality, belong. We have overachieved by getting to the Premier League, and staying there for two seasons. We'll return to the Championship, sort the squad out, be cash rich for a change, have parachute payments, lick our wounds, and prepare for success next season. I'm looking forward to it already. To be honest I've found the Premier League an experience that has opened my eyes to the gulf in finances between your normal teams and the likes of Town. It's left a bitter taste if I'm perfectly honest. How dare a side like Town try to compete in a league where dirty* money washes around? The ref's being under instructions (in my opinion) to look after the billy big bollocks sides (protecting the brand that is the Premier League). Going down is a disaster but it's not the end of the world. We will go again. No guarantees we will bounce back at all though. My dad might even stop moaning (but I'm not holding my breath) I don't think it's a disaster at all. It's not even a financial disaster; i'm sure someone from within the club said that this 2 year PL experience has secured the financial future of this club for at least the next 10 years (providing whoever runs the club is sensible of course). For me this season has been disappointing and a missed opportunity. But a missed opportunity for what exactly? Just to have another season in the PL and earn another £120m at the end of the day. It would never be anything more than surviving and adding a shit load of money to the pot. We'll never win anything while we're in this god awful league. At least in the bottom 3 divisions we regularly win play-off finals, promotion etc. We'll never win a League Cup or an FA Cup (in my 48 years we've never come anywhere near). And it's not all just down to piss poor management from within the club like a lot on here would have us believe. Yes the recruitment failed miserably this season but there's been a lot of bad luck (hitting the woodwork 9 times in the first part of the season), crap decisions from officials, Mooy's injury, Deano's illness (which has clearly impacted) to name but a few. We could have easily have had another 9 or 10 points on the board with this inadequate squad and be right in the mix. I'd rather have gone down fighting than with a whimper like we're going to but I'm not bothered in the slightest that we'll be in the Championship next season.

Even the likes of Everton and West Ham are nothing more than that most seasons. No thanks, not for me anyway.

Post of the month That sums up the situation perfectly for me too. For anyone to claim relegation from the Premier League, for Huddersfield Town is a disaster would highlight their dramatics or delusions or both.

Correct, whether he comes back could depend on why he was sent out, has he burnt his bridges? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Maybe him and Wagner didn't see eye to eye. I'd love to see him back for another push for the premier league next season.

Lets face it, we needed to sign quality this window and at the start of the window we were adrift but not miles. Now we are miles adrift, so with that in mind and knowing that town put wage cuts upon relegation, would you as a player of some quality, who would be on 40k+ a week sign a deal with a club so far adrift, with the knowledge that come the summer you're going to be on a lot less? The answer is no, hence why we struggled to get people in and had to rely on a league one player with potential and an old head who's playing for another deal.
The other thing could be the financial fair play crap, put what we get in the bank and we can spend what we've earned next year. I just dont know when the cut offs are

I'd argue that it doesn't stand as a business argument; successful businesses rely on balancing Risk and Reward. I think the club had a contingency plan for January, however, for the reasons you mentioned above we are in a far worse place than expected. The question then becomes: How much do we need to spend to have a realistic chance of staying up and can we afford the risk? It's also interesting that the people castigating the club for poor recruitment in the summer think that giving the same people more money to spend will solve the problem.

Said a long time ago (under my previous username), about people having to re-set their head to what 'success' is in the PL. Sadly, it appears there are a few who just don't get it & somehow crave for us to be up there challenging for a Europa league spot... Even the flippant comments about it would only have cost us £20m etc. It doesn't work like that, N'castle signed a single player for that amount yesterday. He might be fantastic, but equally he could struggle, or even worse for Toon, suffer an injury that keeps him out for a month or two. That's why I refer to that approach, supported & suggested by a few on here, as casino football... We'll never go down that route & I'm bloody glad we won't...

I think that the priority became having the funds available to hold onto the players in summer that we want to hold on to, or have the funds to replace them. The high wages that the quality of player needed to replace, say, Mooy would demand would be a more realistic use of money instead of a silly loan fee for a player that his current club finds surplus to requirements.

Very disappointed. i would have like to have taken a risk at getting Jordan Rhodes back so that he has a risk of being the goal-soring machine at the top level that he was for us in L1 and for Scotland U21, and now seems to be finding his mojo again. And not just looking back, but looking forward, would have brought O'Brien and Payne back and give them an opportunity - other PL clubs are giving their youngsters PL match time. I have only seen 45 minutes of O'Brien but he was the only brightness apart from the sun at the friendly at Accrington Stanley which now turns out to be an indicator for the season. I am old enough to remember our last time in the top flight and it seems to be a repeat of injuries to crucial players and lack of quality in depth that has again done for us. We all know they are capable of much more, e.g. from the performances in defeat to Liverpool and victory at Wolves. More than our "star" striker's lack of goals, his inability to stay on the pitch against Brighton was the turning point (despite it being a terrible decision by the ref), combined with Mooy's injury. The upside is that good seats through Terrier exchange will be easier to get, but do I want to bother? Of course you do. If people jack it in now simply because Huddersfield Town have struggled in the Premier League and have got relegated to the Championship then they need to give their head a shake, and ask themselves some serious questions. Maybe press the reset button on their life. We have competed and survived longer than all of us would have wanted, or expected, the day we got promoted. So what if we go down. The matches will be more competitive, we'll be favourite to win most of them, and we'll score more goals and win more games. It'll be an improvement and we'll be back where we, in reality, belong. We have overachieved by getting to the Premier League, and staying there for two seasons. We'll return to the Championship, sort the squad out, be cash rich for a change, have parachute payments, lick our wounds, and prepare for success next season. I'm looking forward to it already. I'd be careful about the bit in bold. I'm quite nervous that the negative momentum we have could carry into next season if we're not careful.

16/17 months on we now know what it takes to be a Premier League team. Next season all the teams in the bottom half (and the ones coming up) are going to have to spend £100m to be relatively safe in the belief that they will stay up.
The Premier League exists for the top 6 and sponsors who can use it as a platform to promote their brands globally - the football (especially when it involves the lower teams) is almost secondary.
Don't get me wrong, I like being part of this elite club but it's always felt like we 'paid on the door' to make up the numbers rather than entered through the VIP entrance.
If the next ten years sees us stablise as a Championship club, with a couple of seasons back in the top flight, reach a cup quarter-final or semi-final and generally play nice attractive football I'll take that now.
I would like us to get one more scalp though this season, hopefully Liverpool away.

It seems puzzling that Karlan Grant was brought in during this window given all thats been said above, i dont think there was a huge number of clubs chasing his signature . why not leave it until the Summer ? Perhaps it reflects on just how badly Mounie and Depoitre are viewed by the powers that be? And if now is a good time to bring people in like Grant why not a few more for next season, seems a bit odd/ inconsistent thinking. If the club, including Siewert, (and Winckler? given Grant's played twice and scored twice against Barnsley this season) think he's a good enough prospect it seems reasonable to me. Rather than wait until the summer for a 21 year old to move from South London to Huddersfield, get to know everybody and hit the ground running in August get him in now, hopefully he'll be on the pitch at Stamford Bridge tomorrow better for him and us than being at Highbury. Maybe the reason few clubs were after him was because they were doing what you wanted Town to do: leaving it until summer.

Plus he is now "Premier League Striker Karlan Grant" and as Joe Lolley proved - he has already increased in value.

We've got a reasonable record against the Champions: we ran City close twice last season and were the only club not to concede at the Etihad in the league. Before that we beat Derby in '72 and Arsenal in '71. You might get your wish. I'm sure Siewert would relish it as well.

Thats plausible but why then didnt the club bring in a few more like him in that category.? Incidentally i didnt want the club to wait until the summer, i actually have no preference, i was highlighting the inconsistent approach by the club. Maybe hes a one off?

If the club, including Siewert, (and Winckler? given Grant's played twice and scored twice against Barnsley this season) think he's a good enough prospect it seems reasonable to me. Rather than wait until the summer for a 21 year old to move from South London to Huddersfield, get to know everybody and hit the ground running in August get him in now, hopefully he'll be on the pitch at Stamford Bridge tomorrow better for him and us than being at Highbury. Maybe the reason few clubs were after him was because they were doing what you wanted Town to do: leaving it until summer. Thats plausible but why then didnt the club bring in a few more like him in that category.?Incidentally i didnt want the club to wait until the summer, i actually have no preference, i was highlighting the inconsistent approach by the club. Maybe hes a one off? Because striker is the only position where we're likely to be able to bring a young player in who could be better than what we've got.
